My Favorite Hair-Care Products!

I'm one of the many who have struggled with my hair due to over exposure of sun, heat, dying and also the use of extensions on a daily basis. Long story short; my hair could use some help. Even though hair growth and regaining health is a long process, these products help the cause to growing, enhancing thickness, shine, strength, and curing those split ends! Here are my favorite products so far:

1) H'Swan Wen Hua

This is a hair treatment you use with clean, dry hair for 20 minutes from Lush Cosmetics. Don't make the same mistake I did and use it with wet/ damp hair. You'll be able to smell the treatment for at least another day even after daily washes. I would recommend this treatment for thinner, dull hair in need of overall health and shine. I used this once a week when needed; then, once my hair seemed to not need it as much, I saved it for desperate hair days. It works and I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars only because of the smell and texture when the treatment is on my hair. I think it smells like dog food, my sister thinks it smells like gasoline, and my brother thinks it smells like Hobby Lobby (???) so, whenever I put it on I have to be away from people so I don't hear about the smell. Also, when I put it in my hair strands clump as if it's greasy and the texture doesn't feel healthy... however; this does not last. As soon as you rinse it out, it feels beautiful and the smell becomes more minty! PLUS+ IT'S NATURAL!

2) L'Oreal Ever Strong Sulfate-Free Hair and Scalp System: Shampoo AND Conditioner

My sister recommended me to use this brand of shampoo because of the sulfate-free characteristic, and her experience with the brand. Personally, she loves it and has tried almost every kind of the shampoo and conditioner selections except this one since it's new. I tried it and I absolutely LOVE it! It smells fantastic, has great quality, and has definitely thickened my hair, and even helped the growing process! I give this product 5 out of 5 stars! Try it if your hair is thin, needs more body, and if you want natural hair growth!

3) Macadamia Natural Oil Shampoo

As much as I love the L'Oreal brand shampoo and conditioner, my best and most loyal shampoo will always be the Macadamia. It is the king of healthy shampoo's! It's sulfate-free, natural, and super nutritious for hair! It may not feel like your hair is completely clean when washing it; but that's actually how it should feel. Your hair needs it's natural oils, and this shampoo doesn't strip them away. It cleans, while maintaining your natural oils without leaving your hair greasy looking. It's a must for damaged hair! 5 out of 5 stars!

4) Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque

This masque is definitely my favorite! It smells delectable, and gives my hair instant health and shine after one simple 7 minute use! I use this once or twice a week, and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. Just like the shampoo, it's healthy and good for your hair without stripping it of the natural oil essential to healthy hair.

5) Generic Smoothing Serum

If you're like me and your natural hair is crazy and needs to be straightened or blow dried to look remotely good, but you're afraid to use more heat products against your hair- THIS is the product for you. It protects your hair against heat and also changed the texture to thicker and much silkier. Also, it adds shine. The bottle says it reduces drying time, however when I use this before blow drying my hair it actually takes longer. Note: That's just my hair. I'd give this product a 4 out of 5 stars because it lives up to what it does while smelling delicious! (Honestly.. it smells exactly like fruit loops!) The down sides are that it's extremely greasy and takes a long time to get it completely off your hands and the serum is very slippery. It can get everywhere if you squeeze too much out of the bottle. Still, it's a great heat protector  In fact, it's the only one I've liked enough to purchase twice!

6) A Boar Bristle Brush

Having a boar bristle brush is important for hair health because it doesn't snag as much hair out AND it evenly distributes the oils from your scalp down to the ends of your hair. This gives your hair more shine, a silky texture, but it also flattens your hair. Even so, I think it's important to brush my hair more with this brush than the usual brushes (I don't know the regular brush name...) You can purchase these at Sally Beauty Supply, Walmart, or any other hair care store. It does what it needs to, so it deserves it's stars. 4 out 5.
